I found this recipe in Sunset a long time ago. The page is yellow so I know it has been around a long time. I bake and give this out during Christmas to friends and neighbors so I do double batches and bake in small loaf tins. It also freezes very well and will keep a long time if wrapped tightly with foil.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 c sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 c each milk and salad oil
1 1/2 tsp grated lemon peel
lemon glaze (recipe follows)

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  • 2. In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, salad oil, and lemon peel.
  • 3. Add liquid mixture to the flour mixture: mix just until blended.
  • 4. Pour batter into a greased and flour-dusted 5 by 9 inch loaf pan. Bake in 350 degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until pick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • 5. Prepare glaze. When bread finishes baking, use a long wooden-skewer to poke numerous holes to bottom of loaf. Drizzle the hot glaze over top so it slowly soaks into bread. Let bread cool in pan for 15 minutes; remove from pan and cool on a rack.
  • 6. Glaze: In a small pan, heat together 4 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1/3 cup sugar until sugar dissolves.
  • 7. This works well baking in smaller loaf pans. I like to make a double batch and bake in 5 small pans for 35-40 minutes at 350. I just divide the glaze between the 5 loaves. Enjoy!!

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the walnuts with dried cranberries.

I didn't have any lemons on hand, so I used lemon extract instead. The bread still turned out great.

The bread turned out a bit dry. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

This bread was a delightful treat! The lemon flavor was perfectly balanced, not too tart and not too sweet. The texture was moist and fluffy, and the glaze added a nice finishing touch.
